Bruce Springsteen Covered Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ Tonight

Update: Springsteen’s cover of “Purple Rain” is available to download for free via his website.

Bruce Springsteen — who recently canceled a show in North Carolina to protest the state’s recent, prohibitive laws against transgender citizens — opened his concert in Brooklyn tonight with a cover of the dearly departed Prince’s “Purple Rain.” It was both as emotional and also as powerful as you’d expect the Boss covering the Purple One might be.
